, Mr. Hamel felt the property would act as a fine buffer for e traffic with light residential. Vote was taken on the motion which carried, with all Council members present voting aye except Mr. Hamel voting no. 1-B-2 2. South of Eastwood Lane, east of Fairway Loop, from R-l to RP (Hayes)(Z 76-19) Denied by the Planning Commission July 13, 1976. Mr. Saul said seven acres have been zoned R-l for a number of years. It is not the first time the request has been heard. Planning Commission in 1974 denied a request and it was not appealed. The Planning Commission did not believe there was a public need. No ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared by Council members. Staff notes and minutes of July 13, 1976 were entered into the record by reference thereto. Public hearing was opened. Doug McKay, 450 Stonyridge,McKay Investment, acting on behalf e of Wayne Hayes, said he felt the changes in the neighborhood justify rehearing. One problem in the neighborhood is the traffic on Eastwood coming from Delta Highway across Fairway Loop. In this proposal, he said they propose to add an additional cross street to take most of the traffic out of the residential area. In regard to conformance to plan, he said the plan shows commercial area at Oakway and Coburg Roads. Regarding need for change, staff has not denied the need for medical zoning, but they are concerned it is not the proper location. Mr. McKay said a major portion of the Oakway/Coburg area is regional in nature, not serving just the local area. He feels that the need has increasing emphasis since the Planning Commission is considering taking clinic use out of R-3 which would deny some existing locations for similar types of facilities. Miles McKay, 1584 River Loop #1, feels the zoning request has been denied on a failure to demonstrate public need. Rezoning probably hinges on three considerations: traffic, effect on adjacent owners, demonstration of public need. Regarding traffic, he said any additional traffic would be from 9 to 4:30, not on weekends or holidays. Regarding the effect on property owners, it would increase property values. On public need, this is an acceptable area for doctors themselves and has been very acceptable to their patients. There are now 27 doctors and dentists at the Oak way Mall. Feedback has been very good and the area is close to the hospitals. e Minutes 9/13/76 -- 4 '13"
